Press Release Border and Lakeland Summer herd Competition 2014

The number of entries for this year’s competition made for 3 long days for the judge Henry Cornthwaite from Garstang, travelling each day to 15 farms spread all over the county. The standard of entries was superb and Henry saw some fantastic cattle and on one day alone saw over 1800!

With 12 of the farms entering the full herd competition and over 12 entries in each of the individual classes this was a great competition to judge and to take part in with no one being a loser as all the animals were of a superb standard making judging very hard for Mr Cornthwaite.

The presentation evening was held once again on a beautiful evening at the Roundthorn Country Hotel, Penrith.Our sponsors of the competition Barclay’s Bank and Quality Liquid Feeds were there to present the awards and after a lovely meal the climax of the 3 days was much anticipated by over 50 people.

Mr Cornthwaite gave some comments on the cattle he had seen without giving the all important results

away and then our president Mrs Marion Holliday announced the results and the sponsors ably handed out the prizes and trophies.

Everyone agreed the competition and the 2 new classes had been a success and a great night was had by all.
